Glass baby bottles are making a big comeback. They are the safest option for your baby as they do not contain chemicals (no BPA or any other dangerous chemicals that have been or are yet to be discovered). Glass bottles are easy to clean and sterilize. They retain their heat longer than plastic and last longer. And if that wasn't enough, glass bottles are environmentally friendly and can be recycled.
The biggest complaint about glass bottles is that they are heavy and are breakable. Which is true, but glass bottles have come a long way. All of the glass baby bottle options below come with a protective sleeve. Most of the sleeves are silicone (1 is thermal) and all of the sleeves help protect your baby, the bottle and your floors.
Here are some different choices for Glass bottles:
BornFree Glass Bottles come in 5 oz and 9oz sizes and offer a silicone sleeve. According to their website, "with the new innovative air vent that helps eliminate colic symptoms". These are the same great bottles BornFree has been known for making for years but now in glass.
Wee*go Glass Baby Bottles are 9 oz bottles that come in the colors seen above. They offer a silicone sleeve and all parts of the bottle are "food grade, FDA approved and recyclable."
Munchkin: Mighty Grip Glass Bottles are available in 4 oz or 8 oz sizes and in pink, green or blue. According to the Munchkin website, "made with sturdy, natural glass for worry-free feeding, Munchkin's bottles include sleek lines, easy-to-grip sides and a vented nipple system that helps prevent gas and colic." The silcone sleeves are sold separately and also available on the Munchkin website.
Evenflow Glass Baby Bottles available in 4 oz and 8 oz size and in a variety of colors. Another bottle standard that has been proven for years but now available in glass!
Sweet Pea Glass Baby Bottles are offered in 5 oz and9 oz with a variety of colored covers. Both safe and stylish!
Skiliskin Glass Baby Bottles an 8oz bottle available in aqua, pink, gray and white.
Coddletime Borosilicate Glass Baby Bottles are available in 9 oz and come green or oranage. "Our signature nipple is wide, soft, stretchy, and easier for baby to latch onto. It mimics breastfeeding action, and prevents nipple confusions".
Momo Glass (quartz) Baby Bottles are available in 4 oz, 5 oz and 8 oz sizes. With every 3 pack of bottles you buy, you get one thermal cover.
Medela also offers a version of their baby bottle in glass. Unfortunately though, for now, they do not offer any type of protective sleeve.

Although I plan on breastfeeding my babies there are times when breastfeeding is not an option. It is so nice that there are such great choices out there now.
